Hornswaggle gets Estrada to chase him outside the ring. Hornswaggle
pulls
a bucket of marbles out from under the ring, pouring them out and
Estrada
slipping on them. He just completely bit it. It was great.

Inside the ring, he hits him with a squirt gun. Hornswaggle goes
under
the ring but comes back out while Estrada is still looking. He
eventually
pulls Finlay out, who soaks him some more before going back under.
Finlay
throws him back in the ring and Hornswaggle hits the Tadpole
Splash.

Striker lands the first big blow of the match with a swinging
neckbreaker
with Bourne hanging over the top rope. It doesn't last long, though, as
Bourne starts with some high flying offense before he gets a big boot
to the
stomach region. Bourne eventually gets to the top rope and knocks
Striker
down and then hits something I haven't seen in a long time ‹ the
Shooting
Star Press ‹ for the win.

Winner via pinfall: Evan Bourne

After the match, Mike Knox attacks and hits the corkscrew faceplant
on
Bourne.

Match #3 - Mike Knox (Phoenix, Ariz.) vs. Kofi Kingston
(Jamaica)

According to Adamle, Knox is "so mean he doesn't even like himself."
Ha!

Again, this is your typical Knox formula. Speed against power. Kofi
gets
off to a quick start but then the plodding begins. Kofi starts to get
the
edge but then Shelton Benjamin's music starts up and Benjamin comes
right in
and hits a sweet double leg.

Winner via disqualification: Kofi Kingston

The two continue to go at it with Knox eventually eating an
enziguri, as
Kofi escapes out of the ring.

Finlay is backstage with Theodore Long. Long hands Finlay a contract
to
sign so Finlay and Hornswaggle can face John Morrison and The Miz for
the
WWE Tag Team Championship at Night of Champions. Hornswaggle bites
Tiffany
on the hand. Miz comes in and objects to the matchmaking. Miz says Long
can't be serious. For that, Finlay lays him out with the
shillelagh.

It's an extremely competitive and back-and-forth match to start
before
Morrison starts to work over Punk's ribs. He stretches him out, hangs
him
over the top rope, kicks him, knees him, stomps him ‹ the works.

Punk is able to counter for GTS, but Morrison slides out and
responds
with a knee to the gut, followed by a soccer kick. Some falls don't go
Morrison's way and Punk is able to hit the running knee and a quick
power
slam for two. But Morrison quickly regains the edge, sliding out to the
apron and hitting a kick to the ribs. Morrison tried to springboard but
Punk
caught him and hit GTS!

Winner via pinfall: CM Punk

When the referee counted three, Al Michaels slipped into the
commentary
booth and exclaimed, "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? YES!" Indeed, Punk
has
won.

In our main event segment, ECW General Manager Theodore Long
introduces
both participants in the ECW Championship match at Night of Champions ‹
the
Big Show followed by Kane.

Long says they now have the chance to say whatever they want to say
to
each other. I can hardly contain my excitement.

Show says they have a long history, but Kane has something he wants
‹ the
ECW Championship.

Kane fires back and says Show has no idea what he'd do to keep the
ECW
Championship. Show says he went through hell to get the match and will
put
Kane through hell to win it. Kane says hell is standing right in front
of
him as they engage in a staredown as Mark Henry's music hits.

Henry comes to the bottom of the ramp and tells them to calm down
since
they're going to need to save their strength because if he's not
drafted
Monday, he'll be coming after the winner of the match. (Please draft
him,
PLEASE!). Of course, Kane and Show no likey this and dispatch the
World's
Strongest Man with a double chokeslam and stare each other down to end
the
show.
